README

RestClient is an interface representing the main entry point for performing REST requests.

RestClient is a handy tool that adds a list of extra features to a Psr/HttpClient (at the same time it is not intended to replace Psr/HttpClient):

1. Serializer/Deserialize request/response body.
2. Intercept request (allows to modify request before sending or process a response object).
3. Retry strategy.

Install

composer require paveldanilin/rest-client

Quick Examples

Create a new REST client

For simplicity, we are using a Guzzle HTTP client, but you are free to use any PSR-18 compliant HTTP client.

// PSR-18 HTTP client
$httpClient = new GuzzleHttp\Client([
    'base_uri' => 'https://animechan.vercel.app',
]);

// Serializer
$serializer = new \RestClient\Serialization\Symfony\JsonSymfonySerializer();

$restClient = new \RestClient\RestClient($httpClient, $serializer);

Define an application response model

class AnimeQuote
{
    private string $anime = '';
    private string $character = '';
    private string $quote = '';

    public function getAnime(): string
    {
        return $this->anime;
    }

    public function setAnime(string $anime): void
    {
        $this->anime = $anime;
    }

    public function getCharacter(): string
    {
        return $this->character;
    }

    public function setCharacter(string $character): void
    {
        $this->character = $character;
    }

    public function getQuote(): string
    {
        return $this->quote;
    }

    public function setQuote(string $quote): void
    {
        $this->quote = $quote;
    }
}

Get an object

Take a look at the example.

/** @var AnimeQuote|null $quote */
$quote = $restClient->getForObject('/api/random', AnimeQuote::class);

print "------------------------------------------\n";
print 'Anime:     ' . $quote->getAnime() . "\n";
print 'Character: ' . $quote->getCharacter() . "\n";
print 'Quote:     ' . $quote->getQuote() . "\n";
print "------------------------------------------\n";

Get a list of objects

Take a look at the example.

/** @var array<ApiModel> $models */
$models = $restClient->getForObject('/api/models', \RestClient\Helpers\asList(ApiModel::class));

Intercept request

Use case of interceptor:

• Request header modification
• Request and response logging
• Request denial based on certain request parameters
• Changing the request URL address

Out of the box you can use following interceptors:

• Log request
• Retry
• Add header
• Callable

Did not find a right interceptor? Do not get upset! It's easy to create a new one, just implement the following interface:

interface RequestInterceptorInterface
{
    /**
     * @throws ClientExceptionInterface
     */
    public function intercept(RequestInterface $request, ContextInterface $context, RequestExecutionInterface $execution): ResponseInterface;
}

Set interceptors

$restClient->setInterceptors([
    new \RestClient\Interceptor\RetryInterceptor(), // <- Retry request in case of [429] or [503] response status
    new \RestClient\Interceptor\RequestIdInterceptor(), // <- Add Request-Id header (uuid v4)
    new \RestClient\Interceptor\LogRequestInterceptor($logger), // <- Log before/after and exception
]);
